καὶ νῦν τί μέλλεις? ἀναστὰς, βάπτισαι καὶ ἀπόλουσαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου, ἐπικαλεσάμενος τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

and now why ˱you˲_/are/_waiting /having/_risen_up baptize and wash_away the sins ˱of˲_you /having/_appealed ˱to˲_the name ˱of˲_him

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He asked me why I was delaying, and he told me to arise and be baptized and wash away my sins, calling on the name of Jesus”

καὶ νῦν

and now

Here, now does not mean “at this moment”; Ananias is using the term to draw attention to the important point that follows. Alternate translation: “So listen”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστὰς

/having/_risen_up

Here the term arising means that Ananias wanted Paul to take action, not that he wanted him to stand up from a sitting or lying position. Alternate translation: “Come on”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

βάπτισαι

baptize

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “receive baptism”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

καὶ ἀπόλουσαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου

and and wash_away the sins ˱of˲_you

Ananias is speaking as if Paul could literally wash away his sins. He is using a word picture to convey his meaning. He means that just as washing one’s body removes dirt, if Paul repents and asks Jesus for forgiveness, Jesus releases him from the guilt and power sin. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to show that you are asking Jesus to free you from sin”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπικαλεσάμενος τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

/having/_appealed ˱to˲_the name ˱of˲_him

Here, name represents a person by association with the way that each person has a name. Alternate translation: “calling on him”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

˱to˲_the name ˱of˲_him

By his name, Ananias implicitly means the name of Jesus. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the name of Jesus”
